to be fair, DCS provides a sense of actual 3D space. IRL, 5km away is still pretty fricken far. if going into VR turns the game into a 1:1 scale (it certainly feels that way), then yeah objects in the distance will appear as specks until you get closer. It also applies in War Thunder
You will need to play around with the settings in FS2020 if you decide to get into VR to get the smoothest experience; it’s not the most optimized. I don’t know your specs, so you might get lucky.
However, i’d recommend saving for a G2 if you’d like a higher resolution. But if you’d still like to get into VR at an entry level, the Rift S is perfect (so long as you don’t mind being required to use your facebook account to even use the headset)
